Chapter 63

Lu Mingzhi swallowed the food in his mouth and took the time to return to his father, "Big brother is just a tendon, and he can't help when he comes back." "He, for example, hurried and hurried, and ended up being a step too late. And the eldest brother is used to the omnipotent appearance of his father and mother, and he always thinks that the second sister's affairs are in the affairs of his father and mother, and there must be no problem.

"That being said, you can't do that."

Jiang Shi on the side quit, "Why do you always catch the boss and scold?" It's not that you don't know the boss, the family is to have money and make a strong contribution, and the difficulties of the Tian family are in front of the boss, what can he do? As the girl said, he can't help when he comes back. Besides, the boss not only sent Tian An back to ask, but also bought a fifty-year-old ginseng for his daughter out of his own pocket, and the girl remembered his goodness. Partial to you, always talk about the boss. I know that you have always been unpleasant to look at the boss in the past two years, thinking that he has soft ears and is unproductive, but you don't mess with the relationship between my children and me! ”

Lu Mingzhi didn't say anything, and agreed with the old lady's words very much. People's hearts are biased, and his eldest brother gave birth to his own blood relatives, and the focus will definitely shift to the small family. But that's normal, right? Isn't his father also biased towards his second sister now? After all, it's a relative, don't be too demanding, just treat it as a relative, how you treat me, I treat you how I treat, fair.

Lu Desheng shrunk his neck when he was scolded, he really hated the boss. Because the boss is a fool, his brain is not very good, and he is easy to believe in the pillow wind. But the conscience of heaven and earth, he said this, and he really thought about the boss. Because he is very sure that his little girl will definitely have a great future in the future, the boss does not know how to take advantage of the fact that his little girl has not yet gotten up at this time, and has a good relationship with her to take the lead. Then, the youngest son was highly valued by his master in the academy, and his master had some fame in both the court and the opposition, and his future would not be bad in the future. The eldest daughter is married, and her future has her husband and children to worry about, and her mother's family can pull it at most. With such a pull, won't the eldest son be revealed? He, the father, is also heartbroken.

Forget it, forget it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. Lu Desheng now hopes that the eldest couple will not regret it in the future.

But he knew that the little girl was a smart person, and she had a scale in her heart, so she wouldn't treat the eldest family badly, and that was enough. It is not good for parents to interfere too much in matters between children.

"That's a good thing for you." Lu Desheng patted his youngest son on the shoulder, he didn't say that the boss did a bad job, he praised the younger son for doing a good job, it should be no problem, right? As he said this, he stole a glance at his wife.

Jiang didn't bother to talk to him.

Lu Mingzhi raised his head and looked at his father with some confusion.

Lu Desheng didn't say anything else, but said, "Your second sister is very good now, don't make trouble, don't be afraid of things if she really encounters something, and do things in a very orderly manner." ”

Lu Mingzhi said in his heart, no, Zhao Bin, he is two years older than him, in the circle of Chang'an City, he can be regarded as a perverse and yin owl, and people in the same circle are very afraid of provoking him, and he can't provoke his sister, otherwise he will be like a mad dog, catching and biting whom.

His second sister actually cleaned him up, no, it should be said that he was directly abolished, and he was not soft at all. But he also forced the Zhao family to be angry, so he could only choose to compete under the table, isn't it powerful?

"What are you talking about?"

After Lu Songli learned that Lu Mingzhi had arrived home, she came to the main courtyard. He walked in from the outside in a moderately thick cloak.

"Second sister? Here you are, sit down. ”

His father is right, his second sister is really a big change this time. She used to give people the feeling of quiet and elegant, but now she is bright and smart, and her original cold appearance is like a plum blossom blooming in the warm sun in winter, giving people a sense of harmony between cold and warm.

Lu Songli looked at the little savage in front of him, with a smile in his eyes, and sat down in the chair he had pulled up.

Lu Mingzhi is the youngest child of the Lu family, two years younger than her, and when the New Year is turned over in two months, he will be fourteen years old. When he was born, her father Lu Desheng had already mixed up the name of the hall, the situation of the Lu family was already very good, and people were not so busy, her father often took him, and the two were very close.

"Second sister, haven't you eaten yet? Have a bowl of dumplings? Dad, is this called dumplings? After getting the affirmation, Lu Mingzhi strongly recommended it to Lu Songli, "This is delicious." ”

Lu Songli smiled, indeed, dumplings are delicious, there is nothing more beautiful than eating a bowl of hot dumplings in the cold winter, "Okay, that mother, please bring me a bowl of dumplings." ”

In fact, there have been dumplings in ancient times, which were invented by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, originally named Jiao'er, when the dumpling filling was wrapped with some cold-warding herbs, which could treat the common people with frostbite in winter.

The customs of Dali are close to those of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and dumplings are available, but they are not popular.

The last time I went to visit her sister at Xu's house, when I came back, my in-laws' wife gave her a lot of pork, and it was the best meat on the pig. When they came back, they couldn't eat that much at once. Her mother wanted to air dry it and make it into air-dried meat, so that it could be stored.

In later generations, dumplings are on her daily recipe, so how can she not eat them here? With her dictation and the cook's efforts, the cook wrapped a dumpling with the pork she brought back.

The first time I made it, the stuffing was made by her, and it was filled with pork and white rime. The pork is made of fat and lean pork belly, chopped into a filling, and then stirred with wine and wild ginger to remove the smell. The white rime here is actually cabbage, the cabbage of later generations has been domesticated for thousands of years, sweet and delicious, the white rime at this time, how much has the astringency of wild vegetables, with pork belly, it is particularly delicious.

Lu Mingzhi ate a big bowl of dumplings, his stomach was warm, and he was full of praise for this dumpling.

The dumplings with meat and vegetables, accompanied by fine white noodles, are more suitable for her parents and elders than meatloaf and other things.

Her father and mother are both forty years old this year, and they are also at the age when they should take good care of themselves. Compared with the average life expectancy of seventy or eighty years in later generations, forty years old is still in the prime of life, but forty years old in ancient times is already in the waning years. You must know that the life span of the ancients was very short, according to statistics, the Xia and Shang periods were eighteen years old, the Zhou and Qin dynasties were about twenty years old, the Han Dynasty was twenty-two, the Kang Dynasty was twenty-seven, the Song Dynasty was thirty, and the Republic of China was thirty-five.

The backwardness of ancient medical technology, the impact of war and the shortage of food supply all affect the life expectancy of the population.

This is also the reason why in the original book, Qin Sheng passed away twenty-four, and Qin Heng would grieve, but there was not much doubt. One is that everyone's life expectancy is short, and the other is that since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world, Qin Sheng, as the commander of the Qin family's army, has a lot to worry about, and he has to take the lead when he fights, and his life span is even shorter.

Her father and mother have lived for forty years, but they are very open-minded, and feel that with their current body, it is no problem to live for a few more years, even if they die in a few years, this life expectancy is not bad now.

But Lu Songli came from later generations, and the average life expectancy of later generations was seventy-eight, so of course she did not want Lu Desheng and Jiang to die early. In the medical field, she can make up for a little, and in addition, in the future, she will try her best to let them be well fed, clothed and warm, avoid the scourge of war, and enjoy their old age in peace. Come to think of it, it should make them live longer.

Her thoughts were spinning, in fact, they were just momentary thoughts.

When Lu Songli's dumplings were served, Lu Mingzhi was already full, and Lu Desheng had breakfast before, and she ate it with her mother.

Lu Mingzhi sat next to them and chatted with them about some of the experiences on the study tour, saying that they started from Yuzhou, passed through Huainan County to Jiangzhou and then to Xuanzhou, which was used as a turning point, passing through Changsha County, Wuling, Jingzhou, Badong County and then back to Chang'an.

"The trees in the south do not lose their leaves in autumn and winter."

"I heard the master say that in the Jiaozhou area where Guangzhou is located, when it is the coldest on our side, sometimes only two clothes are enough to wear there."

Lu Songli secretly thought that Yuzhou should be the Guangzhou of later generations.

Jiang Shi listened with relish, very novel, "There is such a place?" ”

Lu Songli listened while eating, and Lu Mingzhi talked about the difference in landscape caused by the different climatic zones in various places from north to south.

Climatic zones are zonal climate zones divided according to the zonal distribution characteristics, and the factors that affect the climate include temperature, air pressure, wind and rain, etc. They have six climatic zones in China, including tropical, subtropical, warm temperate, normal temperate, cold temperate, and cold zone.

Lu Mingzhi and his master's study tour, from north to south and then from south to north, walked two laps, and also enjoyed different scenery.

"My master also said that in winter, it usually gets dark in Dunhuang County at eight o'clock in the evening, and it gets dark at around four or five o'clock in the afternoon in Lelang County."

"Nearly two hours after dark?"

Lu Songli thought to herself, Dunhuang is in Gansu, next to Xinjiang, Lelang is in Liaodong, one is in the westernmost part, the other is in the easternmost part, the longitude is different, and the time of sunrise and sunset is naturally different.

Lu Songli found that Lu Mingzhi read a lot of miscellaneous books, and he was more interested in the changes in nature such as mountains, rivers, landforms, sun, moon, stars, wind and rain, and seasons than a subset of classics and histories.

In my memory, this summer, on her mother's birthday, he gave her a very special birthday gift. I still remember that he took the family to the rockery at that time, and then he didn't know what method he used to make the rockery babble, and then he sent a rainbow to her there. At that time, their family was like a bun, they were all stunned.

Lu Songli found out that her younger brother was a seedling of a scientist, which was really unexpected. The more she looks at it, the more Lu Mingzhi looks like her two cousins in later generations, and at first glance she is the kind of talent who specializes in studying technology. Her cousin studied the quintessence of Chinese medicine, and he studied natural science. However, it is not important which direction to study, but the talent is important.

"I've eaten, little brother, do you want to go back and rest first? When you're rested, we'll talk as a family. Lu Songli noticed that the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and physiological tears flowed out, presumably he was already very sleepy. This kind of baby, of course, has to be taken care of.

"Yes, yes, let's go rest first." Jiang Shi also echoed, just now he was just listening to his youngest son say those interesting things, but he didn't notice the tiredness of his younger son.

Lu Mingzhi was embarrassed, after the hot food was eaten, he was indeed sleepy, but he kept holding back the yawn. Because not only they missed him, but he went out to study, and he missed them for a few months. So as soon as I came back, I wanted to get close to everyone by talking. This family will let him go to rest first, and he will be obedient.
